This was a 2 seater sports that was originally built as a single seat race car but later converted to a 2 seater open roadster in the 1960s?- One was found in Germany and discussed in Discovered section of Thoroughbred & Classic Car (GB) 1997 November page 132

The Sportscar was derived from F2 Single Seater built by Alex von Falkenhausen and hence the name AFM and extensive historic racing history on this 2 seater can be sourced from
